Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match.
This week Bruce told us about a National Guard soldier from Arkansas, 1st Lt. Michael J. McCarty,
On Nov. 20, 2004, McCarty led his platoon of 26 Soldiers during an attack by a numerically superior force against the Adhamiyahh Iraqi Police Station. Facing rocket propelled grenades, medium machine guns and small arms fire, he continually “uncovered†himself in order to acquire targets and direct fire, at one point charging and destroying an enemy machine gun team alone. His actions are responsible for saving American lives, destroying enemy forces, and preventing the capture of an Iraqi police station.
The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Bruce does an incredible job with the series every week. The Pundit Review Radio Podcast RSS feed can be found here.
